“Mind Map Seminar “ to be held!

2015-01-19

The Gender Equality Office at The University of Yamanashi (former Female Researchers Support Office) will be holding a “Mind Map Seminar” on Thursday, February 26, 2015, as this year’s second advancement seminar!

As a research staff member, it is necessary to devise an efficient way of self-managing in order to proceed with affairs such as research and education within a limited time. This is even more so when you are facing a major life event. Meanwhile, it is said that most business tools and methods that are introduced generally cannot be immediately applied to the works of researchers.

With that in mind, we have invited Ms. Chizuru Sakakibara of the Gender Equality Office at The University of Nagoya. A female researcher herself, she will speak to our research staff about practical skills that can be immediately put into use in daily affairs.

Ms. Sakakibara specializes in the history of female education from medieval to modern/present day Japan and also places her research on Japanese medieval literature. In addition, as the associate professor for the Gender Equality Office of The University of Nagoya, she is mainly in charge of supporting the promotion of work-life balance (including matters related to the on-campus nursery and day-care facility), and the female science students’ community, the “Akaringo-tai”. Moreover, she holds a certificate for the Mind Map Education Fellowship authorized by Pusan and uses her knowledge to frequently hold mind map lectures for researchers of the university titled “Application of Mind Maps Methods in One’s Work”.

Of all the certified mind map instructors, it is a golden opportunity to learn from someone who has a deep understanding of female researchers support. Seats are limited so please be quick to make your reservations!
